Creation or Evolution

Are you suggesting that some people don't think they were created within their mother or evolved as they grew older?

Do you think I should perhaps rephrase the question for the sake of clarity?

So instead of asking whether you believe you were created or whether you evolved, let's all dive deep.... How on Earth did the first person/people get here?? Were they formed from the dust of the ground mixed with God's spit and received the breath of life directly from the lungs of God? How did beings like you and me come to exist from the very start? Did women get here first? I think so....

I personally feel that the earth itself was like one big egg, full of all sorts of life just waiting to be released, just at the right time when the earth was slowly cooling down. The earth is at the very spot that it should be for life, and so life started to form in all sorts of ways, just like any other planet, if itself was in the right spot. How all this happens is beyond out imagination, and so we make up all sorts of stories, be that religious or science, we as humans are always thinking, sometimes we just think too much lol.

“Look, here is a tree in the garden and every summer is produces apples, and we call it an apple tree because the tree "apples." That's what it does. Alright, now here is a solar system inside a galaxy, and one of the peculiarities of this solar system is that at least on the planet earth, the thing peoples! In just the same way that an apple tree apples!”

Okay, then where did these sorts of life come from? How did they come into existence? Were they created?

I'm clear on the concept you expressed, and I agree that everything that originally was created was meant to multiply after it's own kind. Got it. But an apple tree is nothing like a human being; apple trees don't have the authority to have pets, train them, hunt for food, etc. Which now brings me to yet another question - do you think Earth is the only planet upon which intelligent life like me exists? Or are Earthlings the smartest creatures in the universe aside from God and the angels?

I think there are billions of planets that can surport life, life is everywhere, the cosmos is like one big organism, our life didn't have to come from anywhere or anyone, it was always here on the planet earth.

Teological claptrap.
Where is there any evidence of purpose or intention in Nature, and where does this "authority" come from?
Before adducing a magical author with no evidence of his existence, and dismissing the possibility of a purely mechanical explanation, why not do some research on abiogenesis?
